NBA bench saves national team

The second game of the series continues at the Staples Center.

There have been no changes to the starting lineups of the two sides.

The starting lineup of the Lakers is Gasol, Antetokounmpo, Qin Feng, Butler, Lowry;

Kobe still has not come back, which also makes the outside world speculate whether Kobe's injury is more serious than imagined, otherwise why has he been delaying his comeback?

And when the Lakers lost their home court advantage, Kobe still didn't choose to come back, which is also curious.

You must know that with Kobe's personality, at this time, he will definitely appear on the stage with injuries!

The big shot was given to Kobe who was sitting on the bench for the first time.

I saw Kobe's face was calm, without any waves in his eyes.

Qin Feng also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it. He spent all his efforts to persuade Kobe yesterday.

So no matter what, today's game must be won!

The Clippers starting lineup is Jordan, Griffin, Barnes, Redick, Paul;

Both sides jump the ball.

The Lakers took the lead in attacking.

After Lowry dribbled the ball for half court, he passed the basketball to Qin Feng who was reaching out for the ball at the top of the arc. The latter directly pulled up a jumper and shot a three-pointer against Barnes' defense.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Hit a three-pointer in the opening game.

Clippers offense.

After Chris Paul dribbled the ball for halftime, with Jordan's cover, he moved sideways to make room for his shot, and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

Boom!

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

Paul missed his first three-pointer.

Gasol protected the backcourt rebound, and then passed the ball to Qin Feng, who dribbled the ball after halftime and shot a three-pointer again.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

Hit streak.

There were cheers at the scene.

The commentator also said that Qin Feng's touch in this game is very hot!

Clippers offense.

After Paul dribbled the ball for halftime, he didn't try to shoot a three-pointer again, because he knew that he didn't feel much about the three-pointer just now.

With Jordan's cover, Paul broke through to the penalty area, and then threw the basketball high.

Griffin burst out from the left corner, jumped high, caught the ball in the air, and dunked in the basket with one hand.

Air Relay.

Paul is very smart, and if he can't feel the outside line, he immediately switches his offensive method and hits the basketball as far as possible into the penalty area.

In order to ensure the success rate of scoring!

Lakers offense.

After Lowry dribbled the ball at halftime, he passed it to Qin Feng again. After the latter broke through the penalty area, he flicked his wrist and threw the basketball up.

Antetokounmpo jumped up, grabbed the basketball with both hands in the air in a more explosive way, and then slammed it into the basket.

上一场比赛他被虐的全场只得到6分5篮板1助攻1抢断的数据，并且还有3次失误。

Behaved very badly.

Brother Antetokounmpo is also holding back his energy in today's game, wanting to play a good performance to prove his strength.

Clippers offense.

After Paul dribbled the ball for halftime, he passed it to Griffin in the penalty area again. The latter singled out Antetokounmpo and used his body to force him. After reaching the basketball, he turned and hooked.

Swish.

hit.

Although Paul didn't fire from outside, Griffin played well in the penalty area and scored consecutively, preventing the Lakers from opening up the score with this wave of offensive climax.

In the next few minutes, both sides entered into a relatively relaxed confrontation.

By the second half of the first quarter, the two sides entered the rotation stage.

The Lakers' substitute players did not pull their hips again in this game. Morris, Farmar and others all played well.

Steve Kerr even used Ryan Anderson, who was once dnp.

After Kobe was injured, the Lakers' offensive firepower did weaken a bit.

So let's give up a little defense for a while now, let Ryan Anderson come on, and strengthen the shooting power from beyond the three-point line.

Anderson did not disappoint. He showed his performance on the court. He went around the screen and outside the three-point line to the bottom corner. After receiving a pass from Qin Feng, he raised his hand and made a three-pointer.

Clippers offense.

Paul tried another three-pointer from the outside.

bang.

Keep hitting the iron.

Obviously, his performance outside the three-point line has returned to normal in this game, without the sky-high three-point shooting rate of the previous game.

After Qin Feng grabbed the basketball, he directly set off a defensive counterattack. After quickly dribbling the ball for half court, he stopped outside the three-point line and shot another three-pointer.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the network!

The Lakers played a 6:0 offensive climax.

Quickly widen the gap.

The situation of the game is completely controlled by the Lakers.

The first quarter is over.

26: 35.

The Lakers took a 9-point lead.

After a short intermission, the second quarter began.

The two sides are still in rotation.

Markieff, Butler, Farmar and others continued to perform outstandingly, especially Farmar, showing the strength of a player with experience in the finals.

Even if he is a role player, after the baptism of the finals, Farmar is also trustworthy.

Under the leadership of Farmar, a group of substitute players for the Lakers once again played a wave of offensive climax.

Within 3 minutes, Clippers coach Rivers requested a timeout.

The point difference has come to 15 points at this time.

Seeing that it was about to run for 20 minutes.

After returning from the timeout, Rivers replaced the main players, hoping to quickly chase points.

However, the Lakers also replaced Qin Feng here, and used his super personal ability to withstand waves of counterattacks from the Clippers.

Halftime is over.

The point difference remains at 16 points.

It can be said that the Lakers have gained a relatively large lead.

The on-site commentary also said that after Paul's offense returned to normal levels, the Clippers' offensive firepower was incomparable to the previous game.

After the Lakers' bench returns to normal and the team's three-point shooting ability returns to normal, the Lakers' offensive level is still much higher than that of the Clippers.

This game is the best proof! !

Therefore, the commentator predicts that the Lakers will win this game with a high probability.

After a long intermission, the second half began.

The Clippers still kept targeting the Lakers' penalty area, consecutively when Griffin completed individual singles.

Antetokounmpo was brutalized again.

He desperately wants to change the current situation, but in the face of absolute strength, any effort is futile.

Fortunately, the Lakers' three-pointers in this game were very accurate.

Not only Qin Feng, Lowry, Butler and other players all made three-pointers.

In the second half of the third quarter, Steve Kerr changed to a small lineup again. There was no Antetokounmpo in the small lineup, but a lineup of Qin Feng, Anderson, Morris, PJ Tucker, and Lowry .

All five players have the ability to shoot three-pointers.

It can be said that Cole also used the small lineup to the extreme.

Qin Feng and Lowry are attacking as breakthrough players, while the other three players are constantly moving outside, looking for open opportunities.

Qin Feng took the lead in hitting a three-pointer.

Then Morris, Anderson and others were able to steadily hit three-pointers after receiving the pass.

The Lakers had a wave of three-pointers.

In the last 4 minutes of the third quarter, the Lakers team shot 10-pointers frantically, throwing 6 18-pointers, nearly 9 shots, and played a wave of [-]:[-] offensive climax.

Directly extended the lead to 24 points!

With this huge point difference, the game entered the fourth quarter.

Paul still wants to play the ultimate offense to help the team like the last game, but obviously his shooting touch in this game is not so good.

After a stalemate for a few minutes, seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, Clippers head coach Rivers also simply replaced the main lineup, put on a substitute lineup, and gave up the game.

to be frank.

Rivers didn't dare to think about winning two away games in a row.

It is very satisfying to be able to draw 1:1 in the first two games of the series!
